Chapter Twenty-Four: Returning to Fang's Home
"Why?"
Yun Qilan looked at Ling Haotian in surprise, she really hoped that the next thing she saw was Ling Haotian's mischievous smile. However, a few seconds passed, Ling Haotian's expression was still serious, and there was no hint of joking.
"You went to bed early last night and probably didn't hear anyone coming. The housekeeper of the Fang Mansion came to spread the word, saying that the old lady of the Fang family could not trust the environment and conditions of my clinic. So from today onwards, I will personally go to Fang's house to see Ziyan. β
"Old witch!"
Yun Qilan couldn't help but curse in a low voice, this was the first time Ling Haotian heard her burst into foul language, and he was not surprised.
"I'll go over later, and you stay here. If Fang Zhuo's mother and son come over, I will leave them for a light meal first, and I will come back in the afternoon to diagnose Fang's mother. β
Ling Haotian explained like this, but Yun Qilan kept shaking her head.
"I'm going with you."
"What do you say? Clouds, don't say such naΓ―ve things, okay? You and I are both adults, and we always have to think twice before doing things. β
"I'm serious, I want to go back to Fang's house, I want to see Ziyan."
"I can understand a mother's feelings, but you...... Well, I can take you, just you can't be impulsive. β
"I know that I won't recognize her now. At the very least, I want to find out how she's doing now. β
Yun Qilan said that she was worried about Zi Yan, but in a trance, she saw Fang Yan's shadow, and he was also one of the people she had been concerned about. Now that he is blind, his heart must be in great pain and he needs comfort. Thinking of this, she couldn't sit still any longer, got up and ran back to the backyard.
Yun Qilan rummaged through the cabinets, searched for a long time, and finally found a set of satisfactory outfits. She changed her clothes and found a pair of Ling Haotian's glasses to put on. Fortunately, it is flat, otherwise Yun Qilan, who has no problem with her eyesight, will have uncomfortable eyes.
"Haotian, can you go?"
"Ahh Clouds, is that you? How do I feel...... It's like seeing another self? β
Ling Haotian's illusion was not wrong, because Yun Qilan's clothes on her body at the moment were all Ling Haotian's. She is going to disguise herself as a man and walk into Fang's house!
"Well, let me take a closer look! Although this caftan is a little long, it is okay to be fat and thin. This scarf is not a disobedience. It's just this cap and these shoes that are five sizes bigger...... Haha, it's so funny! β
Ling Haotian couldn't help but laugh out loud after carefully scrutinizing it. Because the mix and match of a caftan and a cap is indeed a bit nondescript. Yun Qilan took out her Western wet powder box and took a closer look at it with the mirror inside. Although she also felt awkward, she was reluctant to replace it.
"This will cover my long hair, and the shoes...... I can't wear a pair of high heels, can I? β
"Well, it's still early anyway. Let's find a breakfast shop on the way to fill our stomachs, and then go to the shoe and hat shop on West Street to buy you a suitable outfit. Oh yes! Before I go out, I've got to get some pot ash! β
Ling Haotian seemed to be arranging it seriously, but it was just the last sentence that made Yun Qilan a little confused.
"Ash at the bottom of the pot? What's the trick? β
"Touch your face, and draw two beards by the way, so that you look more like a man!" Hahaha......"
Ling Haotian was amused by his own joke, which was not too ridiculous. In fact, at that moment, his heart was very painful. The corners of Yun Qilan's mouth rose slightly, revealing an extremely unnatural smile. To get back to the point, Yun Qilan still did what Ling Haotian had arranged, but she didn't touch the bottom of the pot.
Thankfully, the town was thriving, and they could find everything they needed. Soon, the cap was replaced with a black topper, and the large leather shoes were replaced by a pair that was five sizes smaller.
"Let's go, as for your outfit to be revealing? Then it's up to you to act! β
Ling Haotian's words were not a joke, Yun Qilan also understood in her heart that she was like an actor performing at the moment. She secretly warned herself that "it must be a complete success", because once she fails, the gate of the Fang family, I am afraid it will be difficult for her to enter again.
"I understand."
Yun Qilan nodded, lowered the brim of her hat a little more, and followed behind Ling Haotian with a medical kit on her back.
The door of the Fang family was rarely open, and that day was no exception.
"Go knock on the door."
Ling Haotian instructed Yun Qilan.
"Me?"
"Yes, that's you! You're my assistant now, and it's your job. β
Seeing Ling Haotian put on a posture of "cow coaxing", Yun Qilan had to endure the anger and muster the courage to go over and knock on the door.
After a few "tuk tuk" sounds, a crisp female voice answered. Yun Qilan's heart instantly hung in her throat again, and she quickly took a few steps back, hiding behind Ling Haotian.
The door of the Fang family opened, and Leng Chunzhu, who looked like a noblewoman, looked out. Seeing Ling Haotian in a gray suit, Leng Chunzhu chuckled and nodded.
"You're the Western doctor, aren't you?"
"Yes."
Ling Haotian nodded yes, and at this time, Yun Qilan pulled the brim of her hat with her hand, and the top hat almost covered half of her face. Leng Chunzhu glanced at her, saw that she was carrying a medicine box, and guessed that it was a doctor's assistant, so he didn't ask more.
"Please come in."
Leng Chunzhu said politely, and then went over to close the door. At that moment, Yun Qilan took a deep breath. She smelled the familiar smell again, orchids, there must also be orchids planted in the new house of the Fang family. She raised the brim of her hat a little and peeked at the new house. The layout of the courtyard, the structure and shape of the house are very similar to the mountain villas of the past. Where are orchids? Why do you only smell the fragrance and not see it?
Yun Qilan was full of doubts, and really wanted to follow the fragrance to find it.
"Come with me, both of you."
Leng Chunzhu turned around and was leading the way for them. Yun Qilan hurriedly lowered the brim of her hat again, and Leng Chunzhu inadvertently saw it again, so she was puzzled.
"What are you doing, sir?"
Hearing Leng Chunzhu's question, Yun Qilan became even more flustered, and in a hurry, she covered her mouth with her other palm.
"I ...... That ......"
"Oh, she'...... She can't smell orchids, allergies. β
Seeing that Yun Qilan was hesitant and couldn't answer for a while, Ling Haotian made up a random explanation. Unexpectedly, Leng Chunzhu didn't doubt it, but echoed his meaning and said, "I hate orchids too!" But my young master, he ...... Ay! Instead, he planted a lot of nasty orchids. No, he has not had good eyesight lately, so I showed him a flower house, and all the orchids were moved. β
Leng Chunzhu's words made Yun Qilan very angry after hearing it. She hates orchids, so she moved them all away, and she was clearly demonstrating to Fang Yan! Lan, it is her Yun Qilan, is Fang Yan's only persistent thought.
"Leng Chunzhu, what do you want? I, Yun Qilan, was really blind at the beginning, I shouldn't have left you in the Fang family! β
Yun Qilan gritted her teeth in her heart and became angry.
